Washington Redskins wide receiver Aldrick Robinson has earned a few awards in his football career — including being named first-team All-Conference USA while at SMU — but he has a new title to add to his accolades: award-winning dancer.

Robinson this morning was named the winner of the weekly “Dancing With The Starters” contest by the NFL Network’s “NFL AM” crew. Robinson made his moves (see below) after his 68-yard touchdown last Thursday in the Redskins’ 38-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Robinson, who is in his second year with the Redskins, has seen a recent surge in production. He caught a 49-yard touchdown in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles — a 31-6 Washington victory — before catching his 68-yarder last Thursday against Dallas.

For the season, Robinson has 11 catches for 237 yards and three touchdowns. He also had a touchdown grab Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints.

Here’s Robinson’s award-winning dance from Thursday’s game, presented over and over for your viewing pleasure:

Griffin III joined the NFL Network’s “NFL AM” early this morning and talked about that — and a variety of other subjects. About picking Morris for Rookie of the Year:

“My vote would go to Alfred Morris, because I wouldn’t vote for myself,” Griffin III said. “I think that’s extremely conceited and I’m not that person, so I’d vote for Alfred Morris. He’s my running back, he’s had a very quiet, but very great season for a running back and I’m proud to have him on this team.”

“Going into college, I was compared to Terrelle Pryor a lot, and now coming into the pros, it’s going to be me and Andrew Luck,” Griffin III said. “And like I tell everybody, I don’t ever root against quarterbacks and I want him to have a great career as well. If they are going to continue to compare us, hopefully we are the best comparison of all time.”

Griffin III also talked about the Redskins’ playoff chances, his style, and several other topics. Here’s the video:

Our thoughts are certainly with Jack Pardee — the former Washington Redskins head coach and one of the cornerstones of the Redskins’ “Over The Hill Gang” — who has been diagnosed with gall bladder cancer and has six to nine months to live, his family says.

Pardee, a standout linebacker at Texas A&M where he played under Paul “Bear” Bryant, was part of the revitalization of the Redskins’ defense in the early 1970s. As part of the “Over The Hill Gang,” Pardee played the last two seasons of his career with the Redskins in 1971 and 1972. In 1971, he intercepted five passes — returning one for a touchdown — and was named All-Pro.

Pardee was head coach of the Redskins from 1978-1980, when he compiled a 24-24 record. In 1979, the Redskins came within one game of making the playoffs.

Under his watch, Pardee also made a few critical decisions that would wind up paying off big for the Redskins in the years to come:

If you’ve been impressed by the offensive execution displayed by the 2012 Washington Redskins, then step back 46 years to the day yesterday and admire one of the greatest offensive performances of all-time.

On Nov. 27, 1966, the Redskins set an NFL regular-season single-game record for most points scored when they blew out the New York Giants, 72-41, at D.C. Stadium.

The Redskins scored on offense, defense and special teams that day. Quarterback Sonny Jurgensen completed 10-of-16 passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns; running back A.D. Whitfield ran for 74 yards and two touchdowns; Charley Taylor caught six passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns; defensive back Brig Owens returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown; and defensive back Rickie Harris returned a punt 52 yards for a touchdown.

Yowza.

Oh, and by the way, who do the Redskins play at home on Monday night? The New York Giants.

Just a thought.

Anyway, here’s the terrific NFL Films video from that glorious day in 1966: “And The Sky Rained Footballs:”
